What you will learn in this program
Serve + 2 & Return + 2
The Zone Method
The 4 Phases of a Rally
Strategy & Decision Making
Each session follows the principles of elite training: meticulous attention to detail, structured progression, immediate feedback and in-game application.
1. Serve + 2 & Return + 2
We will develop the fundamental patterns for the first three shots:
Serve + 2 → serve, first shot, third shot
Return + 2 → neutralize, stabilize, take control
The goal is to link these patterns to the correct targets
(Zone 1, 2, and 3).
2. The Zone Method
These zones do not represent areas on your own side of the court, but specific targets on the opponent’s court toward which you aim your shots according to tactical situations.
Zone 1 — Construction Target
This is the target to aim for when you want to stabilise the rally, build the point, gain territory and improve your court position.
It helps create favourable conditions to move into an attacking position.
Zone 2 — Attack Target
This target is used once you have already gained court or positional advantage. From here, you aim to pressure the opponent, control the direction of the rally and set up the next, more aggressive shot.
Zone 3 — Special Shots / Controlled Aggressive Target
This target allows you to play special shots that break the rhythm, when the situation allows. In Zone 3, we focus on volleys, precise drop shots and other selected special shots.
Important: Zone 3 is not the final phase of the rally; it is simply a target to use when tactically appropriate.
3. The 4 Phases of a Rally
Every situation will be analysed through four phases:
Defence
Construction
Attack
Point Finishing
The goal is to always choose the shot that matches the phase of play.

Choose the correct target based on context
Understand when to switch zones
